Next-day cut-off times: 10:00 AM if your document does not need solicitor certification, or 9:30 AM if we need to arrange certification first.

In rare cases, the FCDO may need to verify a signature or seal before issuing the apostille. This can delay the next-day service, and we’ll keep you updated if it affects your document.

Which next-day apostille service do I need?

The price depends on whether your document can go directly to the FCDO or needs solicitor certification first.

How our apostille process works

1

2

We check and prepare your document: We confirm it’s suitable for an apostille and, where required, arrange solicitor certification first.
3

We submit it to the FCDO: We submit your document through the FCDO’s next-day legalisation service.
4
We will complete your apostille on the next working day. Completed documents are typically ready from around 3:30 PM the next working day. You can collect them from our London office or have them returned by your chosen delivery method.

Why use our next-day service instead of applying directly?

You can apply to the FCDO yourself, but the standard paper apostille service currently takes up to 25 working days, plus return postage or courier time.

As a registered business, we can use the FCDO’s next-day paper legalisation service and manage the process for you.

With our service, we:

Check your documents before submission
Arrange solicitor certification where needed
Submit it through the FCDO’s next-day service
Handle any issues that arise during processing
Return the completed document by your chosen delivery method

Need it urgently? Send us the correct document by the relevant cut-off, and we’ll take care of the rest.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Excellent service.  Everything is explained very clearly and happened as promised.  For me it was very much worth the extra cost.  I will always use this service in future.  (DHL didn't distinguish themselves much with the Spanish sector of the courier service to Spain, but that is nothing new, and not LAS's fault!)

How will you receive your apostilled document?

Once your apostille is complete, choose the return option that suits you:

Collect from our Westminster office — typically from around 3:30 PM the next working day
Royal Mail Special Delivery — for UK addresses
DHL Express — tracked UK and international courier delivery
Bike courier — available for London addresses

Choose your preferred return method when you place your order.

We’ll also email you a scanned copy of the completed apostilled document at no extra cost. If we return your documents by courier or post, we’ll send you the tracking details once they’ve been dispatched.

Using your apostille overseas

For countries where the Hague Apostille Convention applies, a UK apostille is normally the final UK legalisation step.

Some countries require additional embassy or consular legalisation after the apostille. If your destination needs this, we can arrange the additional legalisation for you.

Common international uses include:

Educational documents for study or employment abroad
Powers of attorney for overseas property or business matters
Company documents for international use
Personal documents for visas, marriage or residency

Not sure what your destination country requires? Choose your destination country when you start your order, and we’ll guide you through the right process.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about our next-day apostille service:

What's the cut-off time to submit my document?

If your document does not need solicitor certification, it must reach us by 10:00 AM.

If we need to arrange solicitor certification first, it must reach us by 9:30 AM.

If you’re unsure which applies, select your document when placing your order, and we’ll guide you to the correct service.

What happens if I miss the cut-off time?

Your document can normally be processed using the next available next-day service.

If your deadline is urgent, contact us before sending or dropping off your document, and we’ll advise you on the quickest available option.

Does my document need solicitor certification before it can be apostilled?

Not always.

Documents such as UK birth, marriage, and death certificates, and ACRO Police Certificates, can usually go directly to the FCDO.

Other documents — including many educational, private and business documents — may need solicitor certification or notarisation first.

You do not need to work this out yourself. Choose your document when ordering, and we’ll tell you what is required.

Can I drop my document off in person?

Yes. You can bring your document to our Westminster office Monday to Friday.

For next-day processing, it must arrive before the relevant 9:30 AM or 10:00 AM cut-off.

You can also send your document by post or courier, but it must arrive at our office before the cut-off—posting it by the deadline is not enough.

What should I include when sending my document?

Please include your order number so we can match the document to your order when it arrives.

If you didn’t order online, include your name and contact details so our team can identify the document and contact you.

We recommend using a tracked delivery service when posting important original documents.

Can I apostille several documents in the same order?

Yes. You can add multiple documents to one order.

Different documents may need different certification or legalisation routes, so our ordering system will guide you through the requirements for each one.

Add 3 or more documents, and we’ll automatically apply the applicable multi-document discount to your order.

Will I receive tracking details when my document is returned?

Yes, if you choose a tracked postal or courier return service, we’ll send you the tracking details once we’ve dispatched your documents.

You can also collect from our Westminster office or choose a London bike courier.

We also email you a scanned copy of your completed apostilled document at no extra cost.

What happens if the FCDO cannot issue the apostille?

If the FCDO declines to issue an apostille on a document we have reviewed and accepted, we will either resubmit it at no additional service charge or refund our service fee for that document, subject to the conditions in our Service Terms.

Our service guarantee

We check every document before submission and take responsibility for the part of the process we control.

If the FCDO declines to issue an apostille on a document that we have reviewed and accepted, we will either:

✓ Resubmit it at no additional service charge, where the issue can be corrected; or
✓ Refund our service fee for that document, subject to our Service Terms.

If we miss your next-day submission because of an error on our part, we will refund the difference between the next-day and standard service price and submit your document on the next available working day.

What the guarantee does not cover

The guarantee does not apply where:

the wrong, altered or ineligible document has been supplied;
the FCDO needs additional time to verify a signature or seal;
delays are caused by the FCDO, courier, postal service or other third party; or
a foreign authority, university, employer or other recipient refuses to accept an otherwise correctly apostilled document.
